Sam Myszkowski @sammyszkowski.bsky.social · 11hThe actual use of federal force against Ilhan Omar (raiding her house, confiscating her passport) is something that's just been hard to wrap my head around! There's a generous interpretive lens Trump has trained us in: he makes threats but isn't serious or at least can't do it, so it's not real. 100 0
